Identity Swap

Reverse Flash's screams woke Nora and Henry from their coma. They opened their eyes and stared in horror at the grotesque figure writhing in pain, his body writhing in golden lightning.

Three seconds later, the lightning disappeared.

Reverse Flash collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for breath.

His clothes were charred and torn, his skin was a horrifying reddish-purple, and wisps of white smoke rose from his body. The air was filled with the nauseating smell of burning flesh, and the scene was chilling.

The three the Flash watched Kino warily.

"Brother Kino, torturing criminals like this isn't right."

Barry looked at Reverse Flash on the ground with some pity. He knew the guy was a criminal, but his current state was still too gruesome to bear.

"He is Swann, the Reverse-Flash who killed your mother."

After listening, Barry paused for a moment, then said...

"Brother Kino, could you stay on the power for a bit?"

The other two the Flash clenched their fists; their hatred for Reverse Flash hadn't lessened because of his current miserable state.

"No, we'll need him to save your mother later."

Kino's gaze fell upon the three the Flash in front of him.

The three the Flash slowly began to introduce themselves.

Nora and Henry's gazes shifted from initial concern to pity for the three Barry who had suffered so much.

Kino also learned the origins of the three the Flash.

The Flash One, the original the Flash, traveled back in time with Reverse-Flash, but disappeared after the Absolute Point in Time was formed.

The Flash Two has just arrived and changed the past.

The Flash Three, having changed his past and realized the gravity of the situation, returns to stop the Second Flash.

"That's so cool! Can you guys stay and help me with my homework? You can stay and give me pocket money, you can stay and play with me, you... I don't need you for now, we'll talk about your task later."

After finishing his cake, Young Barry started assigning tasks to the others, things he figured he'd be happy to help with.

"Barry, you have to do your homework yourself."

I wasn't talking about you guys.

Nora gave Young Barry a stern look, then explained to the Flash.

"They are me too."

I'm talking about you right now.

The other the Flash looked at Young Barry, who was trying to argue with his mother, with a hint of nostalgia and sadness in their eyes.

"Alright, let's get ready to start. You can stay and watch if you wish."

"Kino said."

What are you planning to do?

"The Flash One asked."

"Of course, it's about changing the time of your mother's death."

"It's no use. I've tried many times, and no matter how hard I try, the original Timeline will always be maintained in some way, and my mother will die in various ways."

The Flash Three knelt helplessly on the ground, still remembering the excruciating pain he felt.

The Flash Two stared at him in disbelief. He had assumed the Third Flash was stopping him because of the time paradox, but he hadn't expected this other reason.

Young Barry, who was still arguing with his mother, stopped and roared angrily indignantly.

"You're not a superhero, so why can't you even save someone? It must be because you're still... ugh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Nora slapped him.

"Shut up, he's already done his best."

He stood up and walked up to Flash Three.

Nora pulled Flash Three into her arms, gently stroking his trembling back with her hand, just like she used to soothe Barry when he was a child after being awakened by a nightmare.

"Little monkey, don't carry all the weight on your shoulders. If the past really can't be changed, maybe we should learn to accept that fact."

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

The Flash Three cried like a child in his mother's arms.

"No, I don't want my mother to die!"

Young Barry couldn't help but cry too.

Henry hugged Young Barry to comfort him, but he couldn't help but shed tears himself.

Shut up! It's so noisy!

Kino shouted impatiently.

The room was completely silent.

"I already said we're here to rescue people, can't you understand human language?"

"But the Absolute Point in Time cannot be changed."

Although Flash Three said that, a glimmer of hope shone in his eyes.

"That's because you didn't use the right method."

"Timeline are flexible. You can think of absolute time as a rope with a knot that's impossible to untie, and there's an ant inside the rope."

"This knot can't be untied, and the ant can't get out on its own. So how can we keep the ant alive?"

As Kino spoke, he switched to teaching mode, his clothes were transformed into a teacher's uniform by Venom, and he even had a large pair of reading glasses on his face, making him look very knowledgeable.

Kara somehow brought out a Little Black and placed it behind Kino, mainly for the purpose of teamwork.

The people in front of them couldn't help but think, their brows furrowed.

Just then, Reverse Flash regained some strength and, seeing the Flash deep in thought, sneered.

"The Flash, you're really stupid. The point was never to untie the knot, it was the ant."

Barry's eyes lit up.

"So, Brother Kino, we need to change the ant."

The Flash Three frowned.

"There's another problem: this ant can't be any ant from this point in time..."

As he spoke, the four adult Barry slowly looked at Reverse Flash, who was bound hand and foot.

The ants of the future are not readily available.

Cold sweat poured down Reverse Flash's forehead; he finally realized what a stupid thing he had done.

"It's no use. Changing the Absolute Point in Time isn't as simple as just having someone else die. The Timeline records everything. Even if I die, I can't save your mother."

Reverse Flash attempted to salvage the situation.

"What do you think I followed you for?"

Kino snapped his the Snap.

Two conditions need to be met to change absolute time.

First: Multiverse-level power, preferably with the ability to manipulate reality and time.

Second: A replacement is needed. This replacement cannot be anyone from this era, but it is related to Absolute Point in Time.

Reality: Alberd Swann is Reverse Flash, Nora is Barry Allen's mother.

False: Alberd Swann is Barry Allen's mother, Nora is Reverse Flash.

Reverse Flash's uniform disappeared and appeared on Nora, who was now wearing a floral dress.

"My speed! What have you done?!"

Swann stared in disbelief at the speed within his body; not only the speed, but even the knowledge in his mind related to the Speed Force was constantly disappearing.

"Mom, try out your superpower!"

Young Barry shouted excitedly.

Nora was also excited as she looked at the yellow lightning on her body. The whole room was filled with yellow lightning, and when she stopped again...

The whole house was cleaned and tidied.

"That's awesome! With this ability, I can finish all the housework in a second, and the rest of the time is mine. But I feel so hungry?"

Nora gasped for breath; using her Speed Force for the first time had resulted in a lot of wasted energy.
